Kavic came into our lives over 12 years when we brought her home from the shelter as a puppy.
Her original name was Heidi and I would call her Heidi Ho. Somewhere along the way Kaela renamed her as Kavic.
She was always a happy dog who loved to sing. She would talk to you if you talked back to her.
Feeding time was always a noisy occurrance.
One of my fondest memories was when Kae took her to agility classes. Kavic learned quickly how to weave through the poles, climb the ladders and run across the narrow beams. She eagerly dashed through the tunnels, but when she would see me standing next to the ring, she would break away from the exercise and make a bee line to me. It reached a point where I would have to hide behind a tree or in the bushes so she would complete the round.

About a month ago she was diagnosed with Lymphoma. Her health began a rapid decline since then.
Today it reached the point where it was best we put her to rest before she began suffering.

He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.—Albert Einstein
